ABSTRACT
The purpose of the present study is investigating the influence of attachment styles and attachment-related affect on the quality of life in young adults. A sample of 200 young adults aged between 18-30 years participated in the study. Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) by Collins and Read in 1990, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule developed by David Watson, Lee Anna Clark, and Auke Tellegen in 1988 and Quality of Life Scale (QOLS) developed by McDowell in 1983 were used to measure the variables in the study. Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Linear Regression were used for statistical analysis of data. The findings indicated that perceived social support was positively correlated to psychological wellbeing. Implications are discussed.
